The new augmented reality game Pokemon Go has gotten people off the couch and into the real world. But police in O’Fallon, Missouri say that four men have used the game to find players at a specific location, and robbed them using a handgun.

The PlayStation 4 had two day-one robberies in the same city, but the clear winner in next-generation crime has to be the Xbox One. Fifty-eight of the consoles were stolen—and stolen a week ago—in Memphis, Tenn., where one unlucky customer has just been arrested.

The PlayStation 4 officially launched at midnight Thursday, U.S. Eastern time. Three hours later, it was officially robbed for the first time. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the dawn of a new era in console crime!

You're in the GameStop, you've got your gun at the ready, you've cleared the cash register area of children, and now you're ready to make your demand. "Give me the money!" Good! Now follow it up with a threat! "...or I'll blast you!" Wait, what?

There may be no clear winner in this generation’s console wars, but there is definitely a clear loser, at least according to the people that broke into my apartment this weekend and stole every piece of electronic equipment they could get their hands on.

One does not tunnel into GameStop, unless of course they plan on robbing the place blind. Then they just need to prepare to be charged with felony burglary, just like Steven Paul Archer of Chuckey, Tennessee.
